My First "performance" Car--too Bad I Bought A Lemon —
I bought this when I got rid of my Daytona, so anything seemed better. Had this car been properly maintained, I would still be driving it now and having a blast. Unfortunately, this was rust everywhere, not just on the body, which was in awful shape. After two years, the gas tank started leaking because of the rust in the gas filler pipe, and that's when I knew it was time to let her go. I still miss this car, but mostly because I only remember the good things about it.

Pros:
Great engine and drivetrain (165 HP, 180 ft-lbs torque at a very low RPM) and a good manual transmission, comfortable but sporty ride and handling, nice power options. I still miss the sound of this engine revving up.

Cons:
Rusted all the way through (both seen and unseen), clutch went bad after 6 months, some minor engine problems that I probably could have figured out how to fix myself.

Impressive SubaruBy scott_badger

This car is so quite riding down the highway, it is such a nice car. Most Subaru's are made for utility with all wheel drive and lack quality. Subaru really put thought and effort in the comfort of th...
